I am starting this group because I love playing video games. From the days when controllers were called joysticks, and had only 1 button. When no one would think you were crazy for sticking a spoon, fork, or whatever you could find laying around, into your console to make said console work. And, $.25 was all you needed to try out any game at the arcade. For me games have always been social, even the 1 player games, and RPGs. Todays games allow us to play with and against far more people than we …

I started this meetup over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I'm in my late 30's (gulp), and am SO not into the bar/club scene or crazy meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own meetup group and host regular smaller-scaled game nights in my home. The smaller groups definitely make it easier and more fun in getting to know each other better. We get together once a month or so, play games ranging from DVD Trivia/Pop Culture …

The Dying Kingdoms are prehistoric lands of savage adventure. Civilizations both young and old dot the landscape, vying for supremacy, wealth, and power. As a fantastical world, the lands of the Dying Kingdoms hold a populace of both humans and non-humans, all in different cultures with uneasy relations. Most dangerous of all, monsters roam the unclaimed spaces. Where kingdoms recede as their power fades, creatures of fear slink in. Goblins, nightgaunts, ogres, and worse things now dot the lands …
